The French association Bagoudibou funded an operation with solar lamps and collective charging stations for two schools in the region of Thiès, Sénégal. In collaboration with the local NGOs APAF and ADEPE, the project was built including an awareness session per school to insure a proper use of the products by beneficiaries, and a good comprehension of the challenges of solar energy. In total, two collective solar charging stations were installed and 80 Kalo 3000 portable solar lamps were offered to pupils according to insecurity but also academic excellence conditions. For teachers, they are in charge of managing the equipment and inviting parents to get involved in the projects. Within the coming year, the Senegalese Lagazel team will come back for a follow-up visit. And in the meantime, consultations will be held to set up a solar lamps loan system.
